Try eating a couple bananas every day! The potassium can really help with RLS. stay away from the potassium pills they can be bad for you if you take too much. You might even ask your doc to check your potassium levels or your iron level if either one is low it can manifest as restless legs. I eat bananas every day; take a calcium citrate w/ vitamin D and magnesium supplement every day. I rarely get RLS anymore but before could not sit or lay down for more than 30 minutes without getting the creepy crawly feeling in my legs. Hope this helps.

If you're still growing I'm guessing it could be growing pains. Yes you do get growing pains when all your muscles, tendons are stretching to match the extra growth in your bones. Especially with growth spurts. I always thought growing pains was an old wives tale until the pediatrician gp we went to told us that yes they do get growing pains.

I can't tell you how many times and years I tried to explain this nightmare to Doctors. Finally I was diagnosed through a sleep test. RLS has been a living hell for me for more than 30 years. It has only gotten worse with age, and, yes in the arms/hands too. I take requip which has been a lifesaver for some time. However, I have had to start taking it earlier each evening, and now feel I must be in need of a new alternative. It's just not working as it once did.

I was diagnosed with restless leg syndrome (RLS) and suffered with it most of my adult life. I take three 3 mg of Requip at night only because I teach during the day and it makes me feel weird. I take one Lortab in the a.m. which makes my RLS bearable. RLS is my worst nightmare!

Robaxin worked for my restless leg syndrome (RLS) for about 40 years. I guess I wore it out because it no longer works, but try it! I need something else now that does not put me to sleep all day.
